Tunisia, a land where ancient civilizations and natural splendor converge, offers an unparalleled journey through history. In our 7-day small group tour (max 10 people), we’ll go beyond its pristine Mediterranean coastline to uncover a profound narrative etched into its Roman amphitheaters, Carthaginian ruins, and medieval medinas. From Carthage’s monumental ruins, El Djem’s grand amphitheater, and UNESCO World Heritage sites like Dougga, and much more, we’ll immerse in the history and connect with Tunisia’s vibrant contemporary culture through authentic food and community experiences, uncovering the timeless interplay between empire and environment.
Past Travel Courses
Each year presents the opportunity to pursue new itineraries or to revisit sites that continue to yield insight and fascination. At Ancient Rome Live, we embrace both approaches: introducing new tours and returning to favorite locations. Take a look at our past adventures. Should a particular destination resonate with your interests, please contact us. With a minimum of six participants, we are able to relaunch previous tours by request. All tours are curated and led by archaeologist Darius Arya.
